Dish TV stock falls 10% as shareholders reject results, auditor appointment

Shares of Dish TV fell as much as 10% on Tuesday, a day after shareholders of the broadcast satellite service provider rejected audited statements for the last two fiscals, appointments of a new auditor and an independent director.

The shareholders rejected appointments of Rakesh Mohan as an independent director as well as S.N. Dhawan & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants as the auditor of the company.

Dish TV also adjourned its annual general meeting without a date, the company said in a filing late on Monday, adding that the strength of the board had come down to two directors, below the minimum required strength of three.

Yes Bank, which holds an about 25% stake in Dish TV, has been pushing for a board reconstitution, citing corporate governance issues.
